Loved this one! i got all of them ....well, exept the gnu one . that was a gr8 teaser.good job
I DONT GET THIS AT ALL
Good Teaser! I got all of them. A Gnu is like a yak. I remember as a kid there was a tv program called "the Great Space Coaster", and in it there a character named "Gary Gnu", who was of course a Gnu.

uhm...I feel incredibaly stupid (if I spelled incredibaly wrong then I feel more stupid) because I didnt get one...I looked at it for about a minute then gave up and looked at the answers... .......

and now I am totally embarrased because I pushed add comment twice...ah me...
I take it that I am retarded. Am I the only one who missed cat? And I missed camel but there were people who said that they missed that one too. YEA! I only missed two out of eight. 75%.
Got them all but the gnu. Never heard of it. Good job!
The gnu was very tricky and cleverly hidden. This was a great teaser! I got them all!
It was fun but i didnt like it
I really liked that one. Make more please! I didn't know what a gnu was, but I got all of the others. It took me a while, but it was worth the time!
got all but the gnu. dont actually know what that is, but great teaser!
I couldn't find that gnu one. what animal is that?
good one nice
My kind of teasers. Got 'em all except the camel, which I thought was "ass" (you know, a donkey). Fun & games!
hehe, i love these tinman
they remind me of the ones i used to do when i was a kid
very clever!

nice work! very creative!
Excellent teaser! Easy but fun!

EXCELLENT! I loved it.
very nice ..i only got a couple ..but after i saw the answers i should have got them all
Awesome challenge! Got everything but the "gnu".
You can read no 9 as tomcat. Crossword puzzlers would have no trouble with gnu, even though its an old word(1777)
For those of you having trouble with this kind of puzzle, write the sentence out with no spaces and then try to forget what it says. Works almost every time.
Totally Awesome teaser! Enjoy the challenge of finding the answer to ANY and ALL of the different teasers. Keep up with the animal scheme and maybe throw in a twist or two You have to attack and make your interest in these puzzles Don't expect the answers to just fal into your laps. Look up those questional clues and find those answers.
Thanks for the tip enjaytee. I'll remember that for the future, since I had a lot of trouble with this one. Great teaser, btw, made me really work my brain.
I, too, missed lion. I think the capital "I" really throws people off.
Anyway, nice teaser!
Anyway, nice teaser!
that was pretty tricky good job!!!
liked it and got them all right . I like this type of puzzle. Thx. Wpuld love to see more.
ONCE AGAIN, AND AS USUAL, I AM THE NEY SAYER.
ABSOLUTELY NO CHALLENGE. WITHIN A STRING OF LETTERS, PICK OUT THE NAMES OF ANIMALS, HOW TOUGH IS THAT?
SORRY, BUT BORING

A year later and I still liked this one. Didn't get lion but that's a comment on my memory, not the teaser!
Good way to introduce youngsters to brain teasers. My Grandkids wil love it. Thanks
I really like these. As a teacher I have been using these kinds of exercises for fun things to do when you get your work done. I didn't get "gnu" either even though I knew what a gnu is.
cool good job
Good teaser! I enjoyed it.
I got them all!!!
Number 7 could also be "ass" as in the word "class".
I got all of them except for Gnu--I've never even heard of that animal!
Easy and fun teaser. The sentences themselves have a certain understated hilarity to them.
That was fun really enjoyable,give us more.
I really, really, really, really loved this. It was pretty easy for me, but I enjoyed it so much! I thought it was Gnut, because I have never heard of a Gnu or a Gnut (which is probably non existant)
I found this teaser enjoyable, and not too easy to be over too quickly. I found all the animals, getting better at finding them as I progressed. Gnu was the toughest, but eventually I did find it. Yay!
I liked it i thought it was sort of challenging but then again ya know I am sort of a blonde so everything is challenging......lol
No matter I many times I read clue 2, I just couldn't find gnu Great teaser
I got them all in about a minute, but I've said before the language category is usually my strong suit... very enjoyable even if easy. Thanks for the fun, metallicman!
loved it
got em all. good fun.
Great job. Lots of fun. More please?
Good one! Had to work a bit at 2 and 4, but got them all eventually. Took about 5 minutes total. Great teaser to switch up my day!
cool teaser--i could figure like, two of em out
Great teaser! I missed camel though...thought it was ass. Thanks!
WHAT!!!
I got them all. It took a little while on # 2, but perserverance paid off and I got it. Good One!
I got them all! Good teaser - I like the addition of "gnu," which was a nice contrast to the rest of them, which were common animals. I only know the word gnu because it's great for Scrabble.
excellent; easy; fun
alternate answers...#7 ass, #8 tom
alternate answers...#7 ass, #8 tom
happily struggled through, as I knew this was good for my brain...great feeling of accomplishment when I got them all...looked at ratings and realized I'd done this one before!
Fun, easy and entertaining teaser. I got them all though it took a minute or two longer to get #2 then all the others.
Got 'em all easy except gnu. Couldn't get that one at all.
